The survival horror genre is about to get a lot more claustrophobic. Developer and publisher Ratsuha has officially announced that their pulse-pounding indie title, Chainsaw Woods, is set to launch on PC via Steam on March 19, 2026.

If you’ve ever had that nagging feeling that something is watching you from between the trees, this game is designed to turn those fears into a reality.

A Forest That Never Forgets

Chainsaw Woods places you in the heart of a dense, suffocating woodland with one simple goal: Escape. However, “simple” is a relative term when the environment itself refuses to stay still.

The game features procedurally generated maps, meaning every playthrough reshapes the forest floor. You won’t be able to rely on memory or previous routes; instead, you’ll need to rely on your survival instincts and the faint glow of torches you light along the way to ward off the encroaching darkness.

Fight for Your Life

While the atmosphere is heavy with dread, you aren’t completely helpless. As you explore, you’ll encounter the “Enemies of the Woods”—twisted entities that don’t take kindly to trespassers.

Combat: You’ll be armed with a shotgun to fend off the horrors lurking in the shadows.

Tactics: Ammunition is a luxury, not a guarantee. You’ll need to balance your aggression with careful exploration to find the exit before your luck—or your shells—run out.

Playtime: Each run is estimated to last between 30–40 minutes, making it a perfect “just one more try” experience for those who love high-stakes, roguelike loops.

Don’t Go Into the Woods Alone

Terrified of the dark? You don’t have to face it by yourself. Chainsaw Woods supports Online Co-op for up to 2 players. Whether you’re splitting up to cover more ground or huddling together for safety, the multiplayer element adds a layer of tactical coordination (and inevitable panic) to the survival experience.

Techmash Verdict: With its blend of random generation and tense resource management, Chainsaw Woods looks like a promising addition to the indie horror scene this spring.

Ready to test your nerves? You can head over to the Chainsaw Woods Steam Page now to add it to your wishlist and prepare for the hunt on March 19th.
